Got the problem sorted for me, hope this sorts it out for others too: To get Metacity working, the dirty hack is to add:
metacity --replace to the list of startup applications, which seems to work fine if you’re set against compiz. I was, but after trying it a bit the last two days it’s much much better than when I last tried it a year ago, so I’ve taken most of the gee whiz out and kept some of the usable stuff. So to use compiz, I’ve installed all the relevant Compiz packages in synaptic, as well as “Compiz Fusion Icon”, which actually turned out to be the missing link, as well as adding: fusion-icon to the list of startup apps. So now I have the Fusion Icon in the Notification area next to the volume applet, but most importantly my windows have decoration / borders, I can alt+tab, and switch between workspaces (each one has a diff purpose for me). ref: http://www.oneafrikan.com/archives/2009/05/19/jaunty-jackalope-upgrade-issues-evolution-window-decoration-workspace-switcher-alt-tab-not-working/ possible dupe of #371585 -- Jaunty - after upgrade from 8.10, no window decorator at login https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/348432 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
